I'd love some help. What is the simplest way to get the Key ID of a prim? Is there a command I can issue in the 'chat' box or is there a simple LSL script?

Thanks, in advacne, for your guidance.

CODE

default
{
touch_start(integer touched)
{
llSay(0,"My key is: "+(string)llGetKey());
}
}

I think Jim meant:

CODE

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0,llGetKey());
}
}

:teases cat: And you say that explicit typecasting is better then relying on an implicit like that :p

llSay accepts a string, so its best to cast the return value of llGetKey to a string before passing it to llSay.

Ex.
llSay(0, (string) llGetKey());

Hmm, that's not what it looked like when I responded, Jim. Weird.

And yes Chris, explicit typecasting IS better, but in this specific example, it's not necessary, so THERE.
